Am i the only one who wishes this was common? Put your stupid phones away. How have we not matured enough to not be so addicted to little flashy lights.

who talked to random strangers at coffee shops even before phones?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

I did this at multiple coffee shops I hung out at. This is how you met people. Also no one smokes anymore. That was also a big part of socialization.

never been a thing here. cafés are where you go with friends.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

I spend most my time on the phone socializing anyway. I'm addicted to feeling connected with people I care about not "little flashy lights". I'm not at coffee shops to meet people I'm there to change pace for a minute and reset before I move to another task. If I'm specifically with someone then sure I talk to them but usually I want to be anywhere else because coffee shops in Seattle are so loud I can't hold a conversation

i guess i am getting old. but i really think it is sad, when a group goes to the restaurant/coffee/bar and everyone is staring at their individual screen

McDonald's STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People "back then" didn't just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

Yes, there's a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it's not cause we have electronics, it's cause people don't have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.
